Saturday: Hili dialogue (and Leon lagniappe)

November 14, 2015 • 4:53 am
It’s Saturday, November 14 (I forgot to note that yesterday was Friday the 13th). I regret to note that on this day in 1944, Karen Armstrong was born, and Condoleezza Rice in 1954. There is a lot of other bad things that happened on this day of the year, and the only good thing I can find was the issuance of the first patent for a laser in 1967. Meanwhile in Dobrzyn, Hili is petulant as well, kvetching that the picture on her cup—a cup I had made—is too small:
Hili: This is a very nice mug but too small.
A: Why do you think so?
Hili: I would be more visible on a bigger one.
P1010991
In Polish:
Hili: To bardzo ładny kubek, ale za mały.
Ja: Dlaczego tak sądzisz?
Hili: Na większym byłoby mnie wyraźniej widać.
*******
And tabby Leon asks what I assume must be a rhetorical question. Look at his stripey toes!
Leon: Do I like lollipops?

  1. Well, it’s also the birthday of Charles Lyell. I guess that balances Armstrong and Rice.

      1. Not exactly a Green Peace novel but the whales don’t know that.

        Yesterday was a bad day certainly and maybe a changing day. But France knows that we, the British, and Canadians have come to Paris before and we can do it again.

  2. I had a lovely evening yesterday, saw the headlines just before I went to bed. I think…well, at least for a while, I’ll observe that this picture presents another excellent opportunity for the infinite-Hili-regress mug series. And I bet Leon probably does like lollipops, but only as toys to be batted around the floor.

  3. I completely missed that it was Friday 13th too, despite having been very aware of it having been Wednesday the 11th.
    In hindsight, that probably wasn’t an accident, was it?

  4. I still find a lot of people’s reaction to so called sophisticated theology surprising.

    I would swap in a heart beat all the more fundamental believers, evangelists and even run of the mill orthodoxies to a more sophisticated theology.

    As non believers we should be encouraging this more benign world view.

    And I still agree with Armstrong … it’s not what you believe that matters it is what you do.

  5. I missed Friday 13th too, and since the horror in France started mid Saturday morning when I was at the supermarket for me, even that didn’t spoil the day.
